It's always easy to ignorantly criticise technology choices.

But from my experience in almost all cases it is misguided requirements e.g. we want to support 100x data requirements in 5 years that drive in hindsight bad choices. Not resume driven development.

And at least in enterprise space having a vendor who can support the technology is just as important as the merits of the technology itself. And vendors tend to spring up from popular, trendy technologies.
